Description

Network infrastructure component, there is the hybrid system of multiple network infrastructure component and the use of this hybrid system

Technical field

The present invention relates to network infrastructure component (component), comprise at least one osculating element for being connected to another network infrastructure component, and at least one coupling module comprised for being coupled to function group, wherein, network infrastructure component is designed at least to communicate with at least one other network infrastructure component with coupling function group with power stage.The present invention relates in addition and comprises the network system of multiple this network infrastructure component and the use of this network system.

Background technology

Network infrastructure component (due to their coupling function, being also referred to as node) can make it possible to build the network that wherein multiple network foundation parts intercouple indirectly or directly.In this case, multiple network infrastructure component can be designed as the function group communication being coupled to it with at least one.

In like fashion, such as, supply network (also referred to as mesh network or be called grid) can be realized, such as electric network (also referred to as so-called electrical network).This supply network can be configured to the mode distributing network medium (alternatively: multiple network medium) meeting demand.Network participants can be such as generator, source, place (sink), consumer, buffer, memory etc.These can be coupled to network system (network) as so-called function group.Much less, individual feature group simultaneously or alternatively can present multiple above-mentioned role in time.

The open electric network of US 2009/0088907 A1, comprises the modular interface equipment (so-called intelligent grid gateway) for managing and control generator, memory and consumer.The open system for assembling distributed electric resources of US 2008/0052145 A1.DE 102009044161 A1 is open to be produced for managing the energy intercoupled, store and/or the system and method for consumable unit.In addition, the open system for vehicle being coupled to supply network of US 20090030712A1.

Become known for the various methods realizing electric network.By way of example, in common electrical network, the consumer supply to different voltage level is fed to the electric energy of electric network successively from the not homology of different voltage level.Consumer has the family of very big different demand, commercial mini and large size industrial enterprise.Also often extensive use is there is in generator side, such as, there is characteristic power bracket and can fluctuate continuously or in addition to the wind force device, solar power plant, firedamp gas equipment, combination cogeneration power plant, hydraulic power plant, big power station, nuclear power plant etc. of the larger or low feeding of less degree.Consistent with the characteristic in generator side and consumer side, in electrical network, existing can such as via the different voltage level that substation intercouples.Voltage level such as can comprise extra-high pressure, high voltage, intermediate voltage and low-voltage.In order to maintain the balance between generator and consumer, be such as necessary to provide can with consume relevant mode and connect or the entity of interrupting capacity.This network management can based on empirical value, and such as, such as night on daytime fluctuates or seasonal fluctuation.But, before they are coupled to electrical network and demand power supply, the demand from consumer can not be detected exactly.For this reason and in order to provide the buffering holding spontaneous peak load, stand-by power supply is necessary in electric network, always keep available.

But, when the instrument operated in case of the electric vehicle or in " the haveing nothing to do with network " with rechargeable battery, also can to realize electric network more on a small scale.Motor vehicle can be such as electric bicycle (so-called Moped Scooter), have pure electric drive or have the automobile of so-called combination drive, the vehicle (such as car go lift truck or forklift) etc. for industrial application.Such as irrelevant with network hand tools is known as wireless screwdriver or wireless drilling machine.All known systems of the energy supply almost had nothing to do with network are designed to so-called proprietary system.That is, system unit system specifically (particularly manufacturer specifically) design regularly.In other words, the energy depleter of the different system that can not intercouple or energy accumulator, such as to transmit available dump energy from a system to another system.

In addition, the initial method of known smart electric network (so-called intelligent grid).This method based on foundation and actual electrical network data network side by side, with can between generator and consumer swap operation data.When intelligent grid, in an illustrative manner, when the current downslide of demand causes low (instantaneously) electricity price, family expenses technology can be coupled to electrical network as consumer wittingly.But smart electric grid system needs higher level's center-control structure.Structure regulation is obstacle to further flexibility.

Another example of application with the combination of conductivity and data conduction is the so-called energy bus standard (EngergyBus Standard) for Mobile solution (being used in particular for movable light vehicle).The object of standard is to provide the regulation of the system unit related to, to leave the proprietary open to the outside world drive system to motor vehicle.For this purpose, such as normalized energy memory and charging station is intended that to the effect realized across the compatibility of manufacturer.When energy bus standard, energy accumulator itself has the control system being designed to control charging process and power stage.In like fashion, when energy bus standard, such as, can the multiple energy accumulator of coupling parallel with one another (battery).Energy bus operating such system is scalable in specific restriction.

According to areas of information technology, the known various standards that both (electricity) energy and data can be transmitted in a network.They such as comprise USB (USB) standard and Ethernet power (PoE) standard.But, in such systems, the transmission of energy compared with the transmission of data back to unessential place.This standard cannot make it possible to build substantially for the network of energy supply.

Can find in automatic technology and vehicle technology for powering and transmitting the additive method of network of similar bus of data.Be difficult to there is any standard set up at Vehicle Industry especially.The maximum possible power being coupled to the consumer of In-vehicle networking such as greatly can fluctuate with vehicle ad hoc fashion.As a result, often pressure drop, overload, the triggering of fuse or the more wide in range damage of even vehicle electric product is observed based on routine.

Further challenge occurs in electronic field.Along with growing market penetration, can suppose that more significantly fluctuation will occur in common electrical network.Situation when this especially charges from electric network in the mode of spatial concentration when a large amount of motor vehicle intention while.According to the viewpoint of normal grid network, can not prevent other consumer that are coupled when upcoming overload, such as, as a result, under given conditions, the unique reaction of the network then occurred to overload is periods of network disruption.

Avoid one of this problem mode such as may may be to make whole battery unit commutative and keep them to be used in correspondence " packing station " to exchange.But this method has following defect: the cells known unit of motor vehicle mainly or manufacturer specific by vehicle specifically designs.

In a similar fashion, when business can with the electric tool had nothing to do with network, such as, rechargeable battery can be exchanged between the similar devices from manufacturer at most.In manufacturer, in principle, there is various criterion and size for connection.

In order to the power bracket needed for motor vehicle can be covered, such as, multiple (rechargeable battery) unit intercouples regularly in battery unit.Individual unit is with the reduction of the statistics possibility and performance that stand fault useful life.Particularly when the battery of mutual interconnected in series, the fault of single battery level or power loss may cause the fault of power loss or even whole battery unit.

When buy motor vehicle or have nothing to do with network operation hand tools, consumer often enters the mandatory relationship with single manufacturer about energy accumulator.Although energy accumulator be only intended to make electric energy in a specific way can the fact, the specific contact point of multiple manufacturer (contact), geometry and similar boundary condition cause the rich and varied property of part.This is with corresponding high production cost and logistics costs.

From the viewpoint of manufacturer, proprietary energy storage system causes multiple shortcoming.Energy accumulator is had to by mechanical load test etc., to obtain the market access.Particularly when the battery based on lithium ion, the threat of fire may be there is after mechanical failure.Along with the growth of modification number, also there is the increasing of cost of applicability for measuring and test to prove produced in series in result.

If present the system of not electric compatibility mutually, such as, from charger and the battery unit of different manufacturer, what for expecting also to provide mechanical incompatibility, to avoid the unfavorable coupling of this equipment.First this indirect coupling may have the effect that battery unit is not completely charged; Secondly, when the damage of fire may occur in situation and the equipment of battery.Use, as the classification of the particular type of the battery of hazardous material also because people gazes at because battery unit becomes increasingly extensive distribution for various difference.Given this, for lithium ion battery, such as, depend on their capacity or weight, there is the difference transport and storage rule that focus on especially and light risk.

But the current incompatibility of existing energy accumulator in fact such as has such effect: manufacturer, whole seller, retailer and even consumer keep in their environment and use than the more energy accumulator from actual needs viewed from the viewpoint of demand.

Given this, such as, logistics service supplier has to keep the specific battery unit of a lot of product and supply them on demand.Battery pack can have particular characteristics, if but they stored for a long time, just experience deep discharge.This may with the power loss after a while between the operating period or even complete defect.The charging process in the life-span maintaining memory period can be needed, have contribution to the increase of logistics costs and system cost therefore.

Finally, at the end of life cycle, the modification of rich and varied property and the incompatibility of different battery are also disadvantageous.First, battery pack comprises very popular and expensive raw material.Secondly, also accurately the problems referred to above can be there are when circulating.

Always, can state, it is various unfavorable that supply network (particularly having those supply networks of the battery unit that must be incorporated to) experiences.Such as, even if in advanced networks (such as, in intelligent grid network or energy bus network), the compatible regulation and control of demand of can not implementing veritably.But, even if such as such network experienced by relatively strict constraint, also mainly about the control of higher level's central entities.

Summary of the invention

For this background, the present invention solves regulation network infrastructure component and comprises the problem of network system of multiple network infrastructure component, this network infrastructure component makes it possible to the flexible configuration of the supply network of flexible expansion and formation becomes possibility, and it is compatible and can meet especially as the challenge of the result the be incorporated to appearance of the emerging electromobility in supply network structure and dispersion (regeneration) energy supply system and storage system that supply network has high parts.

The problem solved by the present invention solves by network infrastructure component, and this network infrastructure component comprises following: at least one osculating element, for being connected to another network infrastructure component; At least one coupling module, for coupling function group, wherein network infrastructure component is designed at least with power stage and coupling function group communication, wherein, network infrastructure component is designed at least communicate with power stage and/or other network infrastructure component of data level and at least one, can produce to make the self-configuring network system for linking multiple function group with the network of each network infrastructure component.

Solve the problem solved by the present invention in like fashion completely.

Network infrastructure component (being also called node in a simplified manner) can provide the function of the node point in network system (being also called network in a simplified manner).This node point can communicate with another node point (network infrastructure component), with make whole network system can provide can close to or equal Self management or from control function.The function group being coupled to network infrastructure component is only physically connected to this network infrastructure component, but " significantly " can indirectly be connected to another network infrastructure component in network system, this is because single network infrastructure component can swap data mutually.

Function group can be such as generator, memory, place or consumer, equally also can be coupled to (outside) network.Much less, also can mixed form be imagined, such as can temporarily with the function group that the form of consumer, memory and/or generator occurs.

In other words, network infrastructure component can provide " plug " function of network system.But, this " plug " not insertion system blindly, but can with its directly or indirect neighbor's plug exchange the data of the coupling function group that can such as describe in network system.

To the segmentation again of osculating element and coupling module, " plug connection " can guarantee that the parts that will be connected to network infrastructure component can correctly be assigned.By means of the interconnective multiple network infrastructure component of corresponding contact unit, " intellectuality " of network system can be realized internal network.

Further preferably, network infrastructure component comprises for the control appliance of power stage control operation parameter (particularly load control).

Control appliance can control the communication of coupling function group in desired manner with power stage.This such as may relate to and is fed to network system or draws from network system.

Control appliance can also be designed to data level and another coupling network infrastructure component swap operation parameter, and such as consumption data, capacity, power demand, power provide.

Much less, the control appliance of network infrastructure component also can perform the control task of other coupling network infrastructure component.Alternatively, can imagine in network system, provide its (inside) to control the network infrastructure component performed by their control appliance uniquely, wherein control appliance can realize each other to coordinate object exchange.

In network system, network infrastructure component can realize the exchange of the performance data of the coupling function group about them.Related to this, although this control is implemented by distribution control appliance that is single or all-network infrastructure component, in network system, the coordination load of power stage controls to produce.

As a result, network system can control independently, independently.Particularly, there are not the needs to the higher level's supervision and controlled entity performing central load control.

According to another configuration, control appliance is designed to the operating parameter considering at least one other network infrastructure component contacted at control period.

This measurement may have contribution to expanding the database being provided for load control.In other words, exchanges data when control appliance by network infrastructure component, in an illustrative manner, can make the network system of not direct-coupled remote functionality group loading " visible " or by " emulation ".The integrated load can implementing the total load considered owing to distribution function group single in network system in like fashion controls.In any case open, flexible and extendible " organic " system can be realized.

According to another configuration, control appliance is designed to the operating parameter detected to be sent at least one other network infrastructure component contacted with data level.

Can imagine thus and provide about their control appliance " passive " or " active " and such as controlled by their adjacent networks infrastructure component or be there is network infrastructure component in addition that their adjacent networks infrastructure component is had to control effects.Much less, can program level logically or in addition providing structurally by corresponding component, classification " passive network infrastructure component " or " active network infrastructure component ".

According to an exploitation, network infrastructure component also comprises at least one sensor element, particularly temperature sensor and/or acceleration transducer, wherein, and can by least one sensor element of control appliance addressing.

In like fashion, other data can be detected and load for network system controls.Particularly, potential hazardous operating condition can be identified.In an illustrative manner, by acceleration transducer, can mechanical failure be identified, and the action affecting network system can be caused, thus avoid collateral damage.In like fashion, in case of the electric vehicle, such as, can start after accident and automatically supervise discharge process.

Temperature sensor can detect the data of the current loading of function group making it possible to such as inference network infrastructure component or be coupled with it.In addition, temperature detection allows to reach a conclusion about environmental condition, can correspondingly adaptive load control according to this conclusion.Given this, known available battery capacity can depend on ambient temperature.

In preferred development, network infrastructure component is also designed to auxiliary energy magnitude, and particularly auxiliary electrical is arbitrarily downgraded, with at least one other network infrastructure component and/or coupling function group communication.

" arousal function " can be realized by this measurement.Auxiliary electrical arbitrarily downgrade such as allow in the part of control appliance, sensor element, other network infrastructure component and coupling function group can comparing unit supply operating voltage.In like fashion, such as, before network medium is with power stage conduction, can detect and the performance data of critic network system and operating parameter.As a result, in an illustrative manner, before the upcoming overload reality of network system occurs, this upcoming overload can be identified.As a result, the operating reliability of network system can be improved in addition.No longer need implement the expansion of network system according to trial-and-error method or reinstall, wherein until can operate in operation, contingent overload can not be identified.

According to another configuration, network infrastructure component comprises the authentication ' unit for user, and particularly wherein, described authentication ' unit is coupled to control appliance.

In addition, can imagine network infrastructure component and comprise authentication ' unit, the data of this authentication ' unit are fed to the control appliance of another network infrastructure component be coupled with it.

Authentication ' unit can allow based role or rule-based access control.Only network system can be inserted operation and/or perform how extensive input or change by authorized user group.Given this, " fixing " existing network system can be imagined to prevent from manually adding other network infrastructure component by undelegated user.

According to another design, control appliance provides rule-based access right to user.

The access right configured by this way such as makes manually to intervene control appliance and load thus by authorized user and controls to become possibility.The mandate for this can be realized by the function group being coupled to network infrastructure component by authentication ' unit or in addition.This may relate to such as wirelessly or with the server being connected to coupling module based on wired mode.Much less, network system has home rule load control in principle.But this does not hinder to enable from outside and to monitor or from outer controls intervention.

According to another design, control appliance is designed to load restriction and/or the load disconnection of implementing coupling function group.

In like fashion, the special assessment utilizing performance data or the operating parameter obtained, can realize " software protection ".Especially when imminent damage or even potential hazard, recommendation network system can disconnect or isolation features group automatically.

According to another configuration, by Wireless Data Transmission, preferably by electromagnetic wave, more preferably by RFID technique, implement the communication with data level and at least one other network infrastructure component and/or coupling function group.

In an illustrative manner, function group and/or network infrastructure component, especially in the region of respective osculating element or coupling module, can have the RFID label tag that can be read by the partner that is coupled separately.This label can such as be configured to active or passive label.

Given this, such as, in the RFID label tag of the function group that will be coupled, can store and allow network infrastructure component whether to evaluate the load that will be incorporated to for the manageable connection data of network system and characteristic value.

Also can imagine, on connection both sides, such as, between two network infrastructure component or between network infrastructure component and function group, provide label and reader so that the data of high level can be exchanged on demand in the two directions respectively.This is such as with duplex operation or implement in order.

The radio communication of data level allows the consistent separation between power stage and data level, and can reduce the risk of incorrect contact connection, plug defect etc. in addition.Much less, at coupling position, label and/or transducer can be directly installed, but not need directly (electricity) contact to connect.

According to another configuration, network infrastructure component also comprises identify unit, and it allows network infrastructure component and each coupling module and/or each osculating element clearly to be identified.

In like fashion, even if in large-scale dissemination system, even if the topology utilizing (at first) unknown, each subelement clearly can identify and addressable.As a result, appointment table or protocol tables can be generated when not needing manually intervention.Simplify exterior monitoring.

In this part of function group, each coupling unit 74a, 74b, 74c, 74d, 74e can divide each coupling module 16 (referring to such as Fig. 1 and Fig. 3) tasking network infrastructure component 12a to 12d.Coupling unit 74a such as can be configured to plug.Depend on the function in this part of function group 18 or equipment needs, coupling unit 74 such as can be designed as to arbitrarily downgrade with power stage 20, data level 22 and auxiliary electrical and 24 to communicate with network infrastructure component 12.But, also can only communicate with one or two in level 20,22,24.Given this, in an illustrative manner, coupling unit 74a is designed to connect with data level 22 and power stage 20.This may owing to such fact, and this fact is that the electric tool 62 that will be coupled is not designed to arbitrarily downgrade 24 addressing with auxiliary electrical by boost voltage.

For the network system 10 or the network infrastructure component 12a that are directly coupled to function group 18a, be called that the information of this condition can be stored in the performance data 78a of the built-in function level 76a being such as stored in function group 18a.This performance data can comprise identification data, operating parameter, minimum and maximum etc.Performance data 78a such as can inquire via the control appliance 32 of data level 22 by network infrastructure component 12a.In like fashion, control appliance 32 can find that the function group 18a of which kind of type is coupled and/or is intended to be coupled.In an identical manner, such as, the function group 18b, the 18c that comprise energy accumulator 64a, 64b also can built-in function level 76b, 76c retention performance data 78b, 78c, this performance data or alternately all can be inquired by network system 10 and assess by network infrastructure component 12b, 12c.

Indicate in situation as coupling unit 74b, 74c, can contact with energy accumulator 64a, 64b all three levels (power stage 20, data level 22 arbitrarily downgrade 24 with auxiliary electrical).In like fashion, each in energy accumulator 64a, 64b can provide the boost voltage such as can distributed in network system 10 via boost voltage network 48.By boost voltage, in an illustrative manner, the control appliance 32 of network infrastructure component 12 can be used for and should have operating voltage.

The energy source 66 being assigned to function group 18d can provide performance data 78d with inner functional level 76d in principle.This may not be such as the situation of conventional household receptacles.But there is initial method, the energy source also for (such as can read, thus such as allow the mark of such as certain operational parameters or reading) performance data 78d to having by RFID technique provides this interface.

Function group 18e is mainly used in exchanges data, is used in particular for monitoring object.For this reason, be not intended to be linked to function group 18e with power stage 20.But, can arbitrarily downgrade with auxiliary electrical and 24 to contact with function group 18e, with such as to communication linkage 68a, 68b such as supply communication link 68a, 68b.

Much less, other equipment can be associated with the functional level 76 of function group 18, especially for converter unit 88a, 88b, 88c, 88d of voltage matches.This will be described in more detail together with Fig. 8 below.

Network infrastructure component 12e (being mainly used in the unit of access control) is also comprised according to the network system 10 of Fig. 5.For this purpose, except control appliance 32 and identify unit 52, such as, network infrastructure component 12e can also comprise authentication ' unit 80 and Access Management Access unit 82.

As a result, the object of network infrastructure component 12e is not mainly provide (mainly) network medium with power stage 20, but the access control of network system 10.Authentication ' unit 80 can such as comprise cipher key system or cryptographic system.Particularly preferably be, authentication ' unit 80 comprises reader, particularly RFID reader.This reader can such as be designed to read the key data stored on the rfid labels.The role of user can be determined based on the key be stored on label.Start thus, specific role can distribute to user by Access Management Access unit 82.In like fashion, different rights can be assigned to different user groups.Much less, contrary with the diagram in Fig. 5, in an illustrative manner, can with auxiliary electrical arbitrarily downgrade 24 to network infrastructure component 12e feeding auxiliary energies.
